The Beatles were at the Kaiserkeller whilst we were at the Top Ten. They would finish at 2.00am like us, and we would have a drink together. John Lennon was my best pal, and he said, ‘Let’s go to the Herbertstrasse.’ We knocked three times on one of the doors and the German geezer said, ‘Ya vol, vot?’ I said, ‘Can we come in, please?’ and he said, ‘80 DM,’ which was a lot of money. John had about 20 and so did I, and I said, ‘Is 40 any good?’ He shouted at us and we ran off. John said, ‘Let’s go next week,’ and so next week, same house, knock, knock, knock, same big man. I said, ‘Here’s the money,’ and he said, ‘Danke schön. Back in a moment.’ He came back three minutes later with the biggest woman I have ever seen. I looked at John and he looked at me, and we jumped up and ran out of the door. I said, ‘What a waste of money, John - 80 DMs and we got nothing for it.’ He said, ‘I did, I got the shock of me bloody life.’ God bless him. We were kids and we enjoyed it.
